Prey Catch All Thread

I almost thought a trailer was classified when I saw this on the Alberta Canada website, lol

The delirium has set in. I'm getting there too!

[Doomofman]

Does a trailer need to be classified if it's not going to show in theatres?

I hope the wait is not long. I'm starving for some real news!

It's always funny how that works. Right now we are in a total drought of news. It's agonizing. And then one day that will change. We will go from getting a trailer, to behind scenes vidoes, cast interviews, appearances in magazines, merchandise tie ins, etc.

At some point the scales will tip. Just gotta keep enduring. All I'm waiting for is seeing the Predator. That is literally all I care about at this time.

Gotta wonder how confident  they are  in it given that vacuum of information

This is, again, pretty normal.

Hollywood learned its lesson (well, lessons) about not advertising too early when some films didn't do as well as they hoped and people said they heard about the movie so long ago they didn't realise it was only just out.

These days they have very narrow windows for marketing so it's fresh in people's minds and they get more bang for their Buck. In the over saturated streaming market this is more important than ever usual results in even tighter ad windows.

Don't get your hopes up for seeing much advertising. Given it's a streaming release, it will most likely just be one trailer and a new poster. I can't think of a streaming release that has gone heavy with the promotion.

That awful Chris Pratt movie on Amazon about time travel war, The Adam Protect, Extraction - I've seen a few streaming releases get pretty intense online marketing pushes, although it does actually seem like they put more into it AFTER release than before.

[Some Old Dude]

Makes sense, since it's less effort and commitment to garner a click on the first month of release than it is to convince someone to rush out opening weekend.

Yeah that Chris Pratt movie was all over TV when it was coming out. Same with Red Notice and 6 Underground on Netflix if I remember correctly. Don't really remember seeing anything from Disney+ though (It'll be Disney+ rather than Hulu where I am) other than just general promos for the service rather than any specific movie or show

Gimme that trailer pls

[Voodoo Magic]

I find it hard to adjust to the little buildup we received to this point. You take away all the leaks and diligent research and John Davis being asked about Skulls while promoting another movie, and all we really got to chew on was the "poster" announcement and some social media posts.

[Doomofman]

On the flip side, it would have been kinda cool to just not know it was on the way until a trailer dropped

Or after that. Reality versus the alternative, I would have gladly gone back in time and opted for the secret Predator film Dan intended. No qualms in missing out on this particular "build up".

[BlueMarsalis79]

Anyday now.
